Cool Coal Man, a Grade 2 winner of $929,728 by Horse of the Year Mineshaft, will stand the 2014 breeding season at Brent & Crystal Fernung’s Journeyman Stud in Ocala, FL. His fee will be $3,500 stands and nurses.

A top miler from the A.P. Indy sire line, Cool Coal Man began his career winning four of his first seven starts, including a pair of wins at two and a victory in the Fountain of Youth S. (G2) at Gulfstream early in his 3-year-old campaign. He went on to win a stakes at Saratoga by 12 ¾ lengths as a 4-year-old, earning a 107 Beyer, before retiring to stud as a 10-time winner with 18 on-the-board finishes in 30 lifetime starts.

“Cool Coal Man was a top racehorse with a great pedigree,” said Brent Fernung. “He’s a Grade 2 winner at three, earned over $900,000, and won from 6 1/2 furlongs up to a mile and an eighth. We appreciate Mr. LaPenta giving us the opportunity to stand him.”

Cool Coal Man, who’s out of the Rubiano mare Coral Sea, had 26 first-crop yearlings sell in 2013 for an average of over 3 ½ times his stud fee. He’s available for inspection along with all other Journeyman Stud stallions.
